Denzel Brown , better known by his stage name Lil Mosquito Disease, is an American rapper, songwriter and producer. He is the owner of Flex Entertainment and one of the 3 founders of the label.

2018–2019: Commercial debut
In June of 2018, Mosquito was asked to make a diss track on a man known only by the name "Anime Narrator" by his friend Broken Trombone Boi. After hearing his convincing argument, Brown decided to record a diss with lyrics ghostwritten by Broken Trombone Boi himself. The song would become known as "Captain Out of Tune" and was released on June 20, 2018. The song was criticized heavily by almost everyone who heard it thanks to the awful single cover which depicted a fish-eye version of a photo of the Anime Narrator provided by Broken Trombone Boi as well as the awful production, lyrics and general nature of the song. The song even made it onto TheTopTens worst songs of 2018 list. Mosquito followed this song up with his second single "Anime Narrator (Caw Caw)" also written by Broken Trombone Boi. It was released on October 15, 2018. Just like Captain Out of Tune before it, it received terrible reviews from all audiences. On November 19 2018, Mosquito released his third single, a remix of "R.I.P." by Playboi Carti.

Some time after these three singles, Brad Taste in Music stumbled across the song "Captain Out of Tune" while looking for songs to include in his worst of the year list. On December 10 2018, "Captain Out of Tune" was included on music critic Brad Taste in Music's Worst songs of 2018 list. Around this time he also got included in Hip Hop YouTube channel Hip Hop HQ's Worst Songs of 2018 list.

Around this time, Yung Schmoobin messaged Mosquito on Instagram to talk to him about making a song called "YouTube Money Reloaded". Mosquito ended up recording and sending a verse to him and it was included on the official song. The success of the song sparked talks between Mosquito's label "Asseating Records" and Lil Flexer's label "Old Man Dad Records" to merge their labels and artists and create a bigger and better label. After all parties agreed, it was named Flex Entertainment and it was created in late December 2018. On January 16 2019, Mosquito released two singles, "Slide on the Blocc" with Lil Jergens and his most popular song to date "Trombone Attacc."

2019–2020: Infection and Swarm
On February 16 2019, Mosquito released his debut studio album "Infection". It was met with mixed to good reviews from audiences and critics, many categorizing it as a great meme rap record. It did however garner some negative reception as well from the Horrible music & Songs Wiki

On February 23 2019, Mosquito released his first music video for his song "Trombone Attacc".

On March 22 2019, popular music critic Brad Taste in Music uploaded a video review of Lil Mosquito Disease's "Infection."

After this video he began work with Mosquito on a collaboration album titled "Swarm". On July 12 2019, Brad Taste in Music under his stage name Big Baller B and Lil Mosquito Disease released their debut collaboration album titled "Swarm".

2020–present: Infestation
On February 21 2020, Mosquito released his second single for his album Infestation, "33rd Trombone Attacc" with a feature from Big Baller B. The song was for a time Mosquito's most critically acclaimed single with a 91 on Album of the Year before being surpassed by Get Shot later in the same year.

On May 1, Mosquito's YouTube channel was terminated. The album was delayed. A new channel for his music was created a few days later, managed by beetlebat. On May 14, Mosquito announced that the album would be released in one or two weeks. This didn't happen however and it was delayed once again to August. Mosquito announced that the album was complete but was slowly being mastered by Kid Phang. On July 29, he announced that he would be releasing a new single to make up for the delay called "Get Shot." It was released on August 7 and peaked at No. 7 on the Flex Entertainment Hot 100.

Infestation was released on October 9 with features from various artists such as Lil Squeaky and Lil Toy Yoda. The album was met with tons of acclaim from the Flex community, some claiming it to be the best Flex project of the year. Some criticized it for having too many ideas that weren't executed properly or deviating too much from Mosquito's older works such as Infection. In hindsight some have said the project has shrunk on them while others think it's just as good as they remember. The album did great numbers on opening week too with it taking over the majority of the infamous Flex Charts.

On December 27, Mosquito released his music video for his song "Get Shot". The video is Mosquito's second music video since 2019's "Trombone Attacc" and was edited by fellow Flex artist Yung Lambo. A new music video from Mosquito had been teased since the "heading up north" announcement from late 2019. The video was filled with many deep insider Flex references as well as the first instance of Lil Mosquito Disease's eye being shown in an eye reveal that many say points to Lil Mosquito Disease being J Coyn Drive.

On January 8 2021, Mosquito released his single "Just for Show: Reloaded" featuring artists Lil Squeaky, A.J., Yung Tegga and LVN Filo. The song was a remake of a song by the same name on Flex Gang, Vol. 1 that many considered to be one of Mosquito's worst songs. The new version features a beat remake from Kid Floral and A.J. that deviates significantly from YoungAsko's original beat. Many considered this song to be Mosquito's best of all time with popular artist and critic Brad Taste in Music stating that Mosquito "sounded hungrier" on this version of the song.

Mosquito is currently working on new music. He is also planning on releasing a new music video sometime before the end of 2020. He is working on a big project that's details are not known currently.
